Yo, I can’t even right now…this was the best gift I could have given myself to start 2024. I’m tempted to hit play and just start it all over again. And I think I might, later this year, when I need a reminder of hope, and taking care of myself, and going high when the world is ugly. This woman is brilliant and can write the most meaningful messages in the simplest manner; her stories are magic.

Not only does Michelle Obama express her own feelings about parenting, partnership, family life, and being human but she does it all with so much calmness and grace. This book has helped me take a step back and navigate my relationships and parenting and allowed me to reflect on who I am. She is very insistent that this is not a self help book but instead a book about her life and the lessons she learned and how others can take from that. Beautiful and inspiring!
